A rivulet from the Niagara<br />

Escarpment has created a<br />

wonderful cliff face of ice.<br />

Dolomite boulders that fell from<br />

the Escarpment rest at the edge of<br />

Forty Mile Creek.<br />

Beamer Memorial<br />

Conservation Area has<br />

several notable benefits. It’s<br />

not too terribly challenging<br />

when it comes to icy slopes<br />

and treacherous terrain,<br />

but it has its share of<br />

climbing and clambering<br />

so that you’re not merely<br />

taking a walk in the park.<br />

Here’s the key, you’ll find<br />

not just one cascading falls,<br />

but two seven-metre-high<br />

falls on this one creek. Both<br />

are visible from a car park on<br />

Ridge Road West. But at my<br />

wife’s request we proposed<br />

to access them from the<br />

north through Grimsby.<br />

The trail is the Beamers<br />

Falls Side Trail, part of<br />

the Bruce Trail, and is<br />

thus protected not just<br />

by the Niagara Peninsula<br />
